revisiting fanfic writers from fandoms i was in and ALL OF THEM are now in some part of the MXTX fandom ???

how did this happen ???

did I miss something ????

Everyone present was stunned, never having expected such a turn of events. Jin Guangyao mournfully cried his wife's name again and again, a hand cupping her face. His eyes were wide, and his tears fell like rain onto her cheeks. Lan Xichen said, "A-Yao, Madam Jin, she... I'm so sorry." Jin Guangyao looked up. "Er-ge, what is going on? Why would A-Su suddenly kill herself? And why would you all suddenly gather before Fragrance Palace to make me open the secret chamber? Is there something you're not telling me?" Jiang Cheng, who had arrived late to this impromptu gathering, said coldly, "Zewu-jun, please provide an explanation. We are all in the dark as well."

I don't think we're ever given a plot-driven explanation for why Jiang Cheng was late here, and I'm unclear if there's some kind of character note we're supposed to be taking from it (I personally like to imagine he heard a commotion going on outside his window, was like "Ugh, I bet Wei Wuxian is stirring up some drama again. Can't believe I have to deal with this again after 13 years," and shoved his pillow over his head, before remembering Jin Ling might be getting into trouble and getting up with a heavy sigh).

But there's something kind of darkly hilarious about the idea of him showing up late to find Qin Su bleeding out on the floor, Jin Guangyao sobbing over her dead body, and half the cultivation world standing around yelling accusations at each other. I just picture him bursting in there like that one Community meme gif:

Top ten bl couples- 2022 version.

(This may change as new dramas come out). In no particular order. These are just the ones that I enjoyed the most for various reasons. Posting this just because I have watched so many shows that I have lost count, but yet these are my absolute faves.

1. Adachi and Kurosawa. (Cherry Magic). Such a lovely story about respect and overcoming anxiety. They have such a sweet relationship and their story was really well paced. I want to see more of them.

2. Yoohan and Yeonwoo. (Color Rush). I loved their story and was so upset about season 2. They had such great chemistry and were literal soulmates.

3. Sarawat and Tine. (2gether). This was such a dorky but sweet romance story and season 2 only made it cuter. They had such great chemistry and I loved their interactions.

4. Mark and Ouwen. (Love is science). Even though they were a side couple I loved their story and the found family they created. They also had great chemistry and character development.

5. Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu. (Word of honor). Two messed up and traumatised people band together and accidentally created a family while causing chaos. Loved their dynamics.

6. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. (The untamed). I have always loved these two from MDZS. They are such opposites but fit so perfectly.

7. Togawa and Nozue. (Old fashion Cupcake). I loved their banter and their relationship development. Their age gap was perfectly incorporated into the show. I wish the series was longer so we could see more but the few episodes were also amazingly well paced.

8. Arthit and Kongpob. (Sotus). They were one of my first dramas and I have had a soft spot for them ever since. Grumpy cat and smitten puppy is a perfect dynamic and I love it.

9. Jack and Zhao Zi. (History3: Trapped). Sunshine and sunshine protector with such a great storyline. Mercenary and a policeman with a surprising little amount of drama considering their backgrounds. They’re just so sweet and I love them so much.

10. Jang Jaeyoung and Chu Sangwoo. (Semantic Error). They had such great enemies to lovers plot and the height difference was adorable. They had me hooked by the first episode and their interactions are everything.

If you haven’t seen any of these shows then I high key recommend.

Any MXTX novel/anime (or untamed) fans out there who want to be murals and scream about everything together?? Because I miss them all so much and I need to talk to someone about it. (Especially if you’re a fan is SVSSS).

Please add me so we can be friends 🥺.

Chinese bl dramas for those who loved The Untamed.

I watch a lot of Asian dramas and thought that since Chinese (b)romance (it’s so bro it’s gay) dramas are becoming more popular since the untamed joined Netflix, I thought I’d recommend some more for people to watch. These are some I really enjoyed. Hope you enjoy them too.

Word of honor. It’s already on Netflix. Amazingly well done. The plot twists are amazing and the main characters are soulmates. There is seven minute epilogue episode that is not on Netflix, so you will want to watch that.

Love is more than a word. Short 12 episode drama on YouTube with English subtitles. Very well done and the characters are really endearing and their romance is amazing.

Till Death tear us apart. Has the exact same cast as the one above^. If you watch that one first then Till death tear us apart then it’s like they have been reincarnated. Amazing romance set in the communist revolution. Extremely well acted and amazing costumes. On YouTube.

The silent criminal. Enemies to (b)romance. Criminal joins up with a soldier trying to find a hidden weapon. Funny and adorable. On Viki.

Winter Begonia. Love between a rich man and a male Chinese opera singer. There is such a good build up in their relationship. On YouTube with eng subs.

My roommate is a detective. (Not a bl unfortunately but still fruity) Hilarious main character. (B)romance between the detective and the chief of police. Sherlock Holmes inspired drama set in the 1920s. On Viki.

Oh my General. Straight main couple but explores ideas of femininity and Masculinity. Female is a badass general and the male is a beautiful spoiled city boy. Funny and dynamic. On Viki.

Guardian. Like The untamed and Word of honor, a (b)romance based off a bl book. Fantasy show set in the modern era with funny characters and good mysteries. On Viki.

Arsenal Military academy. (Not a bl but fruity anyway). Girl dresses as a boy to attend a military school. Set in the 20s. A lot of bromance and guys having a crises like Shang from Mulan. On Viki.

Advance bravely. Has Gong Jun from Word of honor. Another (b)romance based of a bl book. The main characters have good chemistry and a funny dynamic. Side couples are also interesting. Ends a bit ambiguously. Set in modern era. On Dailymotion.

Painted skin: the guo jingming edition. Fantasy based short film. Poignant and beautiful. On dailymotion.

Wuliang. 30 minute short movie. Amazingly done. Really well done despite its shortness. Has the same actors play the male leads as Painted Skin. If you watch that first you can view them both as reincarnation. So beautiful and emotional. On Dailymotion.

The Ying Yang master: Dream of eternity. Same director as the two short films above. Chinese fantasy film not to be confused with the other Ying Yang master film. Amazing with a enemies to Bromance with a beautiful film style. Full of action and intrigue and a tragic romance. On Netflix.

The lost tomb. (There’s various dramas of this name, five and then a reboot. They’re all based off the same books and I recommend them all). Found family with an immortal man and they go on Tomb Raider style avengers. Gay undertones but not canon. On Viki.

Under the skin. A crime drama where a artist joins the police force. Enemies to brothers relationship (though I wish it was more gay). Really interesting and great cases. On Viki.

League of noblemen. Historical murder mystery drama with a Sherlock Holmes type character. Very beautifully filmed but I am still confused over who the Male Lead is in love with cause they guy has three love interests.

Me, watching MDZS the anime: “Jin Guangyao is a sneaky little shit. I can’t wait for him to be revealed”.

Me, watching The Untamed: “oh no, this poor baby. Someone save him before he kills anyone else”.

The untamed gave me feelings. If only Meng Yao had been given a better life, he may not have been so evil.

Things I’ve learned from the MDZS fandom, Part 2.

1. Half of the shit in this book could have been avoided if people communicated better. (Namely Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji).

2. Sizhui deserves a medal for dealing with the mess that is his parents and coming out of it alive, not drowned in rabbits or stuck half buried in the ground.

3. Lan Jingyi is the bravest person ever. He is scared of ghosts and corpses but still became a cultivator. Credits people!

4. Who the fuck let Wei Wuxian develop such a need to scarifice himself? This baby deserves the world and need to know he’s loved. Honestly! He needs more hugs.

5. Bloody hell Jiang Cheng is hot with a whip. Both the art, the anime and the drama agree. Like damn Boi.

6. Lan Wangji smiling gives everyone a heart attack.

7. Lan Xichen and Meng Yao were so freaking bromantic (cough cough pretty gay, even tho LXC is supposed to be straight). If it wasn’t for Meng Yao’s need for power, they could have ridden into the sunset as sworn brothers. Meng yao’s death in the drama actually made me cry. Poor Lan Xichen.

8. Lan Qiren goes into Qi deprivation every time Wei Wuxian is in cloud recess.

9. I want one of Nie huaisang’s fans.

10. Wen Ning is and always will be the softest cinnamon roll ever. (Despite the fact that he looks like and could kill you).

11. Jin Zixuan had the best character and romantic development. From pompous git to awkward tsundere then to loving devoted family man. It’s such a shame he died.

12. Once again, I repeat, don’t leave Wei Wuxian unattended!

13. Lan Wangji is the pure definition of whipped. The happy guy.

14. The junior trio are the most relatable group ever. Jingyi is basically the voice of the fandom at this point.

15. I’m never leaving this fandom.

Things I’ve learnt from the MDZS fandom.

1. Never give any Lan alcohol, especially the twin jades.

2. If you hear any screaming, shouting or unusual noises it’s normally Wei Wuxian related.

3. Wei wuxian is chaotic neutral that can’t be trusted to be left unattended. (He can’t even be trusted when attended. It’s just less mess than when he’s unattended).

4. Wen Ning is a precious cinnamon roll that deserves the world.

5. Beware of your legs around toddler A Yuan, he may never let you go.

6. Jiang Cheng is a salty Tsundere with a inferiority complex who needs a hug.

7. The three Zuns are the prime example of some seriously messed up relationships, especially Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue.

8. Don’t do anything to Xue Yang otherwise the guy will most likely kill you.

9. Disciples of Bao Shanren have tragic endings. (Xiao Xingcheng deserved better!)

10. Lan Jingyi is the most unLan to ever be born a Lan.

11. Jin Ling is a pretty princess despite how much he denies it.

12. Jiang Yanli deserves more credit for dealing with both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng, as well as peacock Jin Zixuan and the mess of the Jin sect.

13. Nie Huaisang also deserves more credit. (The guy is practically as sly as Jin Guangyao.)

14. Wen Qing is beauty, is grace and will most certainly punch you in the face.

15. Lan Wangji has the most beautiful and powerful resting bitch face ever!

I just really wanted to draw Wei Ying in a corset, and it evolved from there. 

So uh...Has tumblr decided that I am not a blog to be found in the tags???

I have checked the tags for the last 4 posts I have made, and I do not seem to show up in any of them. I don’t understand. 

Is there a feature or new button I missed that makes my posts invisible to search and I never caught it to fix it, am I using blacklisted tags that I have no idea are blacklisted or why, is this just a weird glitch??? 

guess I’ll go search the settings now, but like. Why. Please let people in the new fandoms I am drawing for at least have a chance of finding me tumblr. Please.

Edit:

I checked. I’m not supposed to be hidden...but I still do not show up in tag searches. 

quick color sketch of these idiots in love. 

So. The Untamed yeah? 

Full View over on Pillowfort. 

(I really want to practice drawing them, but like...to many ideas, if anyone wants to throw an idea my way to help give me some specific ideas? (SFW or NSFW works))

Yes I am the person obsessed with the sapphic couple that never met in Canon! It's me! #MianQing

Foul😭😭😭

old lwj i drew way back when this was a thing but nvr posted :’{

Mdzs au where everything is the same except ghosts are overprotective over wwx in addition give lwj training to get with wwx:

Ghost jiejie #1: listen, you sound like a great guy burial mounds knows wwx never stops talking about you, but if you break his heart I will tear you apart.

Lwj: mn (Translation: if I break his heart I give u permission to do what you please)

Ghost jiejie #1: good good, you've passed your first test

..............

Jiang cheng: is it just me or are those ghosts glaring at me?

Nie huaisang: pretty sure they're glaring at everyone excempt Lwj and wwx bud.

................

*during a banquet*

Ghost jiejie #1: Just look at him!

Ghost Jiejie #2: He deserves a fate similar to wen chaos

Wwx: who?

*both ghosts mockingly*: Sect leader jin

Wwx knows how Joan of arc felt.

I can't believe their are genuinely ppl who think wwx was to blame for any of the misfortunes that happened in the book or call him arrogant, lazy etc like.....? Did we read the same book😭😭

Or also insult lwj etc for similar reasons!

The mdzs fandom secretly is the cultivation world I am sure of it.

Ah im bored..

so I'm gonna just gonna throw these questions out in the open to whoever would like to answer. Feel free to answer whichever one's you like!

1) what are your opinions on the jiang family?

2) what is your favourite non-Canon ship?

3) do you have any controversial mdzs opinions?

4) which mdzs character do you believe deserved more screen time/expansion on?

5) Any headcanons you particularly enjoy?

That's all I can come up with :)

I need a mdzs au/fic? where wwx is actually evil but, like not full blown psychopathic and lwj is just constantly agreeing with him.

Wwx: the cultivation world is corrupt therefore I'm gonna take over it and become emperor

Lwj: whatever you want babe, wanna start with gusu?

I love the Canon fact that mo xuanyus body is literally molding into looking like wwxs og body, imagine one day lwj wakes up only to be met with a similar person looking at him, an exact replica except for the fact his eyes are not gray as he remembers and he's not towering him.

The fact that mxtx has stated mdzs in world does in fact have a emperor... like dude where are you??? How are you letting all dis slide..
